Women in Australia retire with an average 23% less retirement savings than men. That’s a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be quite complex, however many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a financial services industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why we created Verve a community for women, men & non-binary folk who believe in our mission of closing the super gap.

  • Kiara Ferguson Part 1

    Kiara Ferguson Part 1
    Apr 30 2026
    His abuse of her was relentless and brutal. When she died, she was treated as nothing more than a footnote in the legal system. Her name is Kiara Ferguson. She was only 27. A single bullet killed Kiara. She was pregnant with her third child. Her daughters were in the room nearby. Everything that happened to Kiara - before and after her death - is stark evidence of how badly Australian women are failed by multiple systems and how the needs of killers are prioritised over victims. Kiara's mum Jo and her sisters Julie and Karyn tell the story of their beloved woman - they explain what it's like only having 'his side of the story', the trauma of watching the court pander to her abuser and their ongoing fight to ensure Kiara's name and legacy shine bright. This episodes discusses domestic violence and abuse. It is not for children.This is Kiara's story. This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms. She Matters is also proudly supported by Your One and Only and UNTMD Media.Presenter: Sherele MoodyExecutive Producer: Dash Made Studios❤️ SUPPORT MY WORKThe RED HEART Campaign and Australian Femicide Watch are unfunded initiatives providing:• Support for families of femicide• Housing for women leaving violence• Ethical media training for journalists• Rallies, vigils, and public awareness events• Documentation of women and children lost to violenceTo help continue this vital work, please donate or buy a RED HEART t-shirt - 100% of proceeds fund efforts to save lives and end violence.❤️ Donate: australianfemicidewatch.org/support❤️ Shop: australianfemicidewatch.org/shop-2If you need help:❤️ 1800 RESPECT – 1800 737 732❤️ Women’s Crisis Line – 1800 811 811❤️ 13YARN – 13 92 76❤️ Rainbow Helpline – 1800 497 212❤️ Men’s Referral Service – 1300 766 491❤️ MensLine – 1300 789 978❤️ Lifeline (24 hours) – 13 11 14Connect:📱 Instagram/Facebook: sherelemoodyfemicidewatch🐦 X (Twitter): @ShereleMoody📘 Facebook: TheREDHEARTCampaign/🎵 TikTok: @femicidewatchaustralia🌐 Website: australianfemicidewatch.org📧 Email: Sherele@AustralianFemicideWatch.orgWomen in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap.

    Alicia Little Part 2
    Apr 23 2026

    He brutalised her for years and when the police came, they charged her with violence. When he killed her, they let him get away with murder. Her name is Alicia Little. She was only 41. Alicia's mum Lee Little has dedicated almost every waking hour to changing the story for other women. It's been horrific knowing Alicia's killer is on dating apps and roaming the country, barely having suffered consequences for his actions. Lee and Alicia's best mate and sister-in-law Lauren speak about the joy she brought into their lives, the ongoing injustices they face and their determination to make the world a safer place for women. This episode discusses substance abuse, domestic violence and murder. It contains a graphic description of death and is not for children. This is Alicia's story.
